The King's Game

Father Qi was stunned, staring at Qi You in disbelief, as if he was slowly digesting the amount of information in this sentence.

"We've been together since we graduated. I haven't told you all the time because I'm afraid you won't agree. You may think that I'm a novelty and have gone astray, but I really want to be with him. I like him very much. I think He is very good, he also likes me very much, and treats me very well, no one is biased, it's just... I can't control this kind of feeling, I hope you can...understand." Qi You said in his heart just now The organized language was slowly spoken, almost afraid to look at the expression of his own emperor.

Even if he didn't raise his head, he could still feel the low air pressure emanating from Father Qi.

"Is he a man? I remember he was, right?" Father Qi asked after a long silence.

Qi You's heart sank, and he nodded: "But I don't think it will affect it, it's also a feeling, it has nothing to do with gender..."

"Irrelevant?" Father Qi interrupted him: "Are you out of your mind? Are you planning to get married in the future?"

Qi You had expected that the other party would ask this question, but he could only tell the truth: "I don't have this plan, and... I don't have to get married, right?"

Qi's father said coldly: "A normal man who spends his whole life with another man and doesn't get married, what does it sound like? You don't plan to leave an empress for the Qi family? You plan to make others look at you differently from now on. What about our family?"

Qi You whispered: "It's really not possible... You can also find a surrogate, or you and your mother can work harder to give birth to a younger brother..."

Father Qi was so angry that he stretched out his hand and wanted to slap Qi You, but Mother Qi finally stopped her. Father Qi sat on the sofa and calmed down for a while, and said, "Do you know that when you enter society in the future, How many gossips and gossips will you encounter with this relationship? How many people will poke your back? And how do you know that he is sincere? Even if you don’t give up in the future, how can you be sure that he won’t? Do you really think things are so simple?”

"I never think things are easy. I have thought about what you said, and I am willing to face it with him." Qi You said: "I can work hard enough and do well enough so that people are no longer qualified to be in the Pointing behind his back, I believe he has been working hard, even though his character is so timid, he dare not say what others say, but for me, he dared to talk to my family, and even resisted their decision for the first time."

"That's because he doesn't know the sky and the earth!"

"But it was because I saw his courage and determination that I decided to confess to you. I feel that I have been hiding it from my family. It is unfair to you and him. As for whether he will give up as you said, I am sure that he will give up. I will never give up, he likes what I like to death, and I also believe in my own vision."

The last sentence made Qi's father and Qi's mother choke at the same time, and Qi's mother wondered if she raised her son too narcissistically?

The atmosphere in the living room froze for a moment.

"If he is really as brave as you say, then you bring him here tomorrow, and I will tell him in person." Father Qi had no choice but to say.

Qi You's heart tightened: "He still has to work, and what's the use of you talking to him? Can't we make it clear ourselves?"

"Didn't you say he was brave? It seems to be a lie. If he doesn't dare to come here, what right does he have for me to recognize your feelings?" Father Qi gave Qi You a mocking look, and said coldly.

What does this mean?Did things turn around?Qi You was overjoyed, but when he thought of his father's request, he felt a little troubled.

"... These are two different things, right? And what if you threaten to scare him?" Qi You said, "Why stay away from my son, or your family will be overwhelmed? Let your whole family regret it forever..."

Father Qi: "..." His forehead was almost bursting with blue veins.

"Xiaoyou, don't talk nonsense," Qi's mother gave Qi You a white look: "You know your father is not such a person."

Qi You really didn't want Jiang Nan to come here to bear Qi's father's anger, so he said that on purpose. Imagine Jiang Nanbai sitting on the sofa with a small face trembling and talking to Qi's father obediently, and he felt distressed and softened for a while.

If Father Qi knew about his idea of ​​turning his elbows, he probably couldn't help picking up the broom and chasing him to beat him.

But since Father Qi said that he wanted to talk to Jiang Nan in person, it meant that the other party was more or less moved by the words he had prepared, and Qi You couldn't make further progress at this time.

------

After talking about the matter with Jiang Nan, Qi You originally thought that the other party would be very scared and flustered, or trembling with nervousness.

After all, the other party was like a mouse meeting a cat when facing his family members or even the driver before. This time, he will have to face each other head-on, and he will have to endure layers of torture from the other party.He has already started to talk in his heart how to reject his father. After all, Qi You has been very defensive since he was a child, and he is easy to soften his heart. Although his reason told him that doing things would be more troublesome, he still couldn't bear to see Jiang Nan suffer.

So when Jiang Nan just froze for a second and then nodded without hesitation, Qi You didn't even react.

"You... Although my parents are indeed very reasonable people, this is not a trivial matter. When you go to my house, they will definitely not entertain you as well as last time. You have really prepared yourself Are you ready?" Qi You couldn't help asking.

In his eyes, Jiang Nan has always been the boy who is ignorant of the world and needs his protection, so now he is a little too worried.

"I've thought about such a day for a long time." Jiang Nan's heart warmed up, but his face seemed to be indifferent to what Qi You said, and he said seriously: "I admit, I was afraid for a while before, afraid of being hurt. Your family's cold eyes, I'm afraid they won't agree, but I thought about it a long time ago, if I want to be with you, I must have your family's consent, but if I keep shrinking and always hide under your umbrella Now, how can I be worthy of you? How can I get the approval of others? Qi You, in fact, I'm not that fragile."

Qi You stared blankly at Jiang Nan, he had indeed been looking forward to the boy's transformation before, expecting him to become better and braver, but after being together, he often thought, in fact, it doesn't need to be like that, just being protected by himself all the time It's also very good, and he also likes the feeling of protecting the other party.Now that he saw the other party's efforts and changes, he felt a little complicated for a while, a little relieved and a little sad, although none of these could change the fact that he liked the other party no matter what he became.

"Don't worry, I will try my best not to be stage frightened. I also want to let my uncle know that you like me not because you misunderstood me, but because I am worth it." Jiang Nan mistakenly thought that Qi You's reaction was out of fear that he would not Fa behaved well in front of Father Qi, and said quickly.

"It's okay, you just need to be yourself," Qi You said seriously, "They will definitely feel that you are so good."

Jiang Nan had a smile on his face because of Qi You's words: "Don't worry, I'm not afraid."

Well, despite what he said, Jiang Nan was still so nervous that he wanted to bury his head in cold water to calm down, but at least he had to do a good job on the surface-well, he didn't want Qi You to worry, or worry about his own Cowardly and take the initiative to pay the bill.

Qi You was almost fooled by the other party's apparent poise, if he hadn't noticed Jiang Nan's hand behind his back all the time.

Qi You pulled the opponent's hand and held it. In the summer, the opponent's palms were covered with cold sweat, and he could even imagine how this guy was trembling behind him while talking.

Jiang Nan was taken aback by Qi You's actions, and quickly said, "This, this is, an ordinary...physiological reaction."

Qi You sighed helplessly, and couldn't help but hugged the boy again: "You..."

------

It's not the first time Jiang Nan has come to Qi You's house, but this time is obviously very different from the last time.

When he came last time, he didn't dare to imagine that there would be a day like today, even though he didn't know whether he was going to face good or bad things.

When Qi You led the other party in, Mother Qi had already made tea and smiled at Jiang Nan occasionally.

This situation is much better than what Jiang Nan thought at the beginning, after all he thought he would see his father and mother sitting on the sofa frowning and staring at him, and Qi You said before that he would not treat him well, Isn't there tea?Jiang Nan thought optimistically, never admitting that he was even more nervous because of the scene in front of him.

Jiang Nan moved forward a little stiffly and handed the gift he had prepared in his hands to Mother Qi: "Auntie, this is my heart, I hope you like it..."

Mother Qi took the gift, because she was not in the habit of opening gifts face to face, so she put the gift bag aside after thanking her.

"Your dad is still in the study, I'll tell him you've arrived." Mother Qi said gently.

Qi Youyou nodded, shook Jiang Nan's hand to signal him not to be afraid, Jiang Nan swallowed his saliva and shook Qi You's hand slightly to show that he was fine.

Mother Qi took a panoramic view of everything, sighed inwardly, turned and went upstairs.

Knocking on the door of the study room, father Qi's majestic voice came from inside: "Come in."

Mother Qi walked in and saw the newspaper that the other party was holding upside down at a glance, and sighed again in her heart: "They're here, do you want to go down?"

Father Qi put down the newspaper with a cold snort: "Of course we have to go down."

When I went downstairs, I happened to see Qi You put Jiang Nan on the sofa, and heard his good son say sincerely: "Don't worry, my dad is the most reasonable, and he will definitely not say anything nasty to you. I know him well."

Father Qi: "..."

Are you sure it wasn't for him?

Jiang Nan sat facing Qi's father, and saw Qi's father going downstairs at a glance, his expression suddenly became stiff, and he sat straighter than the soldiers on TV.

In fact, Qi You really said that because he guessed that his father was going to go downstairs, and when he saw Jiang Nan's reaction, he turned around naturally, and smiled and called out: "Dad."

"You go up." Father Qi looked at Qi You and said.

Qi You's expression froze, he turned his head to look at Jiang Nan, and then looked at Father Qi: "I just sit here and don't talk, can't I?"

Father Qi frowned: "I have something to ask him alone, you will only interrupt here."

Jiang Nan gently shook Qi You's sleeve, and whispered: "It's okay, you can go up."

When he actually saw Father Qi, he was no longer afraid.

It's not that he couldn't guess that what Qi You said just now was intentional, but he really believed those words.If Qi You can teach someone like Qi You, even if Father Qi looks ruthless, he will not go too far. According to Qi You's usual description of his father, he admires him very much.

Qi You has been standing on the second floor, looking at the two chatting downstairs full of resentment, Qi's father's expression is cold and hard, and his brows are tightly frowned. In contrast, Jiang Nan is simply a little white rabbit who has entered the wolf's den!

Mother Qi came to him: "Are you so worried?"

"It's not that I don't trust my father, it's just that Jiang Nanyou has never experienced such a scene, and my father is so serious..." Qi You had no choice but to speak his mind when he saw Qi's mother's helpless eyes.

"I think maybe it's not just your father, but you should also trust your little friend more?" Mother Qi looked downstairs and smiled and said, "It can be seen from his performance today that he must have done enough for today. Mentally prepared. He was so nervous that he was dying, but when he handed the gift over, he didn't shake his hands, and he finished his words smoothly and verbatim. It was quite different from the last time I saw him, and he would work so hard. To restrain the habitual nervousness, it must be because I like you very much, right?"

Mother didn't say that Qi You didn't notice, he was stunned for a moment, looking at Jiang Nan who was sitting upright on the sofa downstairs and answering Qi's father's question seriously with a white face, he suddenly felt that his little boyfriend was very handsome .

Hmm... the evolved version of the little white rabbit?

……

Father Qi asked Qi You to come down not long after, and Qi You couldn't help but asked Jiang Nan in a low voice: "Did my dad scare you? If so, don't believe it, he's just talking."

Father Qi who heard from the side: "..."

Jiang Nan raised his mouth slightly, shook his head and said, "No, Uncle is very friendly, he just asked me about family studies."

Qi You thought of his father's condensed expression that he had watched from afar before, curled his lips, and believed you must be a ghost.

Speaking of the conversation just now, Jiang Nan was really nervous when he met Qi's father, not only because the other party's aura was so full that he was almost overwhelmed, but also because the other party asked him those extremely sharp questions. Jiang Nan used to be the most afraid and worried, but because he had already worried about it, he would not have nothing to say because of stage fright at the critical moment. Jiang Nan had thought about many problems in his heart countless times, and imagined countless times. Such a scene, so he only needs to think a little before he can seriously give his answer.

In the end, when he smashed the jar and spread out the determination he had made after serious thinking during this period of time and his trust in Qi You all the time in front of Father Qi, the expression on the other party's face made Jiang Nan feel faintly in his heart. I have a feeling that I have hope.

In the final analysis, Father Qi is just an ordinary father who understands and cares about his son. He never has much to consider about Jiang Nan, except for his determination in this relationship and his trust in Qi You.

Although he is a boy, it can be seen that he is still willing to tolerate himself for the happiness of his children.

Jiang Nan felt that his eye sockets were a little hot.

In his heart, he is actually very envious of Qi You's family. Qi You has good parents who care about him, and has a carefree living environment. In such an environment, he still grows into a gentle, excellent, hard-working and upright person. , this must be inseparable from the careful education and example set by the uncle and aunt. Jiang Nan is also very happy for Qi You while envious.

Father Qi's expression eased a little at Jiang Nan's words, and he glared at Qi You: "The little bastard with his elbows turned outward."

Qi You stuck out his tongue while he wasn't paying attention.

Finally, after Qi's mother's reconciliation and Qi's father's acquiescence, Qi You succeeded in keeping Jiang Nan for lunch.

Jiang Nan hesitated for a while but did not refuse.Firstly, he likes the atmosphere of Qi You's house very much, and secondly, he also really wants to stay with Qi You for a while. Although he will be nervous, it is more about happiness and the feeling of being recognized.

After eating, Jiang Nan stood up and said goodbye. Mother Qi glanced at Qi You, but before she could say anything, Qi You smiled at her, stood up and said, "I'll see him off."

Seeing Qi You and Jiang Nan going out, Qi's father put his chopsticks on the bowl, thinking about some important matter with a straight face.

"Okay, I know you still can't understand Xiaoyou being so nice to a boy, but you also like Jiang Nan, don't you?" Mother Qi smiled and put away the dishes.

Father Qi shook his head: "I can see that Jiang Nan is not a bad person, and he is really kind to Qi You, but...he is a man, I think I still can't be as open as you, and I always feel stuck in my heart. "

Mother Qi said: "I know how you feel. When I first guessed this point, I struggled for a long time, but at least Xiaoyou is willing to confess to us, and that child Jiang Nan is also a pitiful... Since both of them It's serious, let young people toss about their own affairs. Alas...Actually, I'm just a little brooding about holding my grandson."

Qi's father didn't care about Qi's mother hiding things from him, but said thoughtfully: "It's nothing, since that bastard is just trying to cause trouble for us, let's just have another one."

Father Qi looked at Mother Qi after saying these words, only to see his wife's face gradually turned red, and then gave him a slight push: "What are you talking about, dead face."

Faced with this scene, Father Qi suddenly remembered the girl who ran away in school uniform with a blushing face and lowered her head after being teased by his own words, and couldn't help laughing: "At the beginning, I should have had more children. If I had a daughter How much peace of mind? You have to work harder now."

Mother Qi blushed and was about to say something when she suddenly heard the sound of the door closing.

"Huh? Mom and Dad, what are you trying to do?" Qi You returned to the restaurant after sending her boyfriend off, and looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression.

Father Qi and Mother Qi: "..."

One silently put the dishes and chopsticks into the dishwasher, and the other let out a dry cough and looked down at the newspaper.

Qi You: I seem to have guessed something...
